Swedish pancakes, 2.0

-We eat lots of pancakes the rest of the time though - most traditionally on Thursdays, as a second course after split pea soup

-our pancakes are thin, like crepes, and usually served with jam

-I suck at making pancakes

Because of that last point, I asked my Facebook and Twitter friends to help. Last time, I had major problems getting the lumps out of the batter, and the pancakes themselves wouldn't stay coherent and broke. However, everyone had their own idea as to what was the magic trick, often completely contradicting. So, I took some advice, discarded some, and ended up with these. And they were great. Batter was non-lumpy, they didn't fall apart, and they tasted good. Titus ate seven. (Plain - he doesn't like jam, yet.) I topped mine with lovely cherry-violet preserves. Mmm.

And the only suitable thing to drink with pancakes is milk, by the way.
